Apple Event Announced for September 9: 'It's Glowtime'

[Lioness~]

September 9? I can't believe I'm looking forward to a Monday morning for once. 😛

Thankfully Europe are ahead of you, so early evening here - fits me much better.
See what the iPad department will bring that can be interesting for my wallet?

iPhone glowing Apple logo?!?

Honestly, I would be surprised if this hadn’t leaked before the event…

Glow as in AI. Cute. Def an upgrade year for me.

I'm really tempted to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max this year, from my 14 Pro Max. I hate the battery life on my current phone :/.

 

[anshuvorty]

Let's freakin go!! It wasn't 9/10/24 but 9/9/24, interesting....

I get it why they were able to do it on a Monday - it's because it is once again, a live stream with a pre-recorded video, no staff needed, right?

 

[M-Life]

I don't like Mondays

tell me why

 

[3xBoom]

Volume buttons on the right side?

you are holding it wrong

 

[Azygos85]

Gurman said the 10th, are we holding the invites wrong?

I think Apple scheduled it for the 9th because of the Prez Debate on the 10th.

I was just joking lol. Personally I’m not a fan of glowing logos. You put a case over them anyway, whatever. Even with the Mac, I prefer the stainless steel logo.

Yeah, maybe it’s a reference to the new iOS 18 Siri animation.

However, I miss the old Android notification leds, and having a subtle glow somewhere around the phone (or even the Apple logo) to indicate there’s an important notification would be great.

If Apple's AI is anything like Siri, even remotely, we are in for a world of disappointment.

Remember when iPhone events used to be hyped? Now it's just another weekday.

pre-order for iphones on Friday, sept 13?

Most likely. It was heavily expected to be:
9/10 - Announced
9/13 - Preorder
9/20 - Launch

However, 9/9 is the announcement so…may just be a one-off because 9/10 are the presidential debates and 9/11 is a no-go? So maybe the preorder and launch are the same, as most would expect?

I just hope they don’t move the 16’s back to October to launch with Apple Intelligence since that’s such a headline feature for them.

I hope they don’t announce the watches, iPhones, etc. but only release the watches in September and hold the phones back until 18.1 is ready. They may not want the headlines of “here are our brand new phones in September but you can’t use the headline feature yet” in all the reviews and stuff? Who knows.

Every inch counts: 6.69 to 6.9. Even a small difference can make a significant impact.

Are you flirting with me?

I had my iPhone 7+ until I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max. Not sure why people have to update every year or two. The devices now are so close in features despite the marginal speed bump. I guess keep with the Joneses.

Cameras is the number one reason, beyond that 5g chips get better all the time for those of us in low signal areas.

 

[Iconoclysm]

Year over year upgrading is pretty silly at this point, unless you have a ton of money you don’t know what to do with 😁

So long as you're getting half the price when selling/trading in after a year, it's really not that big of a deal.

Interested to see what Series 10 and Ultra 3 add. The wife's S8 battery is already aged, and she doesn't use AOD. Would like to see a smaller Ultra 3 for her. My Ultra 1 is holding up fine still.

It could be a press release for how exciting this phone update sounds lol. Hoping there area some surprises but odds are I’m waiting for the 17.

 

[madmin]

tell me why

What reason do you need to be shown

 

[Ameer_1]

Hopefully, the trade-in prices in the USA increased last year the 14 Pro was $570 it should at least be $600

 

[Motawa]

The title for EU is “It’s blow time”

 

[Jett0516]

iPhone glowing Apple logo?!?

Nah its siri. She glows and excited that you're finally talking to her

 

[minik]

Let's get it going and start the upgrade cycle.

 

[Motawa]

Glowtime? New phones gonna be glow in the dark or something?

Actually that'd be sick

It’s AI, how do you not get it?

 

[alexandr]

Glow me the money!

 

[BelgianChoklit]

The iPhone 16 announcement is a lon event.

It's all about the Apple Watch Series X or it should be. Just release the iPhones 16 in a press release or something
